Metabolism and Muscle Biology Research Lab
ABOUT
The Metabolism and Muscle Biology Lab is located at the University of Rhode Island
PI: Dr. Marie Mortreux (Brown)
Spaceflight
We use ground-based analog models to simulate microgravity and partial gravity in rodents to better understand muscle deconditioning and study its plasticity.
Nutraceutical Therapies
We explore the connections between metabolism and muscle biology, and work to develop nutraceutical therapies to preserve muscle health and function
